2024 NFL free agency Debrief: Biggest questions going forward after flurry of cuts, signings, trades

The new league year arrived Wednesday with the frenetic free agency market finally slowing down to a crawl. Now that there's time to take a deep breath, let's look at some of the biggest questions remaining after a wild stretch of transactions.

1) What's next for the Chargers? There was a lot of speculation about how the Chargers would get in salary-cap compliance by Wednesday's deadline.

He's only topped 550 snaps in a season four times in his career, which makes his $15 million base salary this year too rich for this team. He's due a $7 million roster bonus on Friday (per Over The Cap) that he's unlikely to receive. A trade could be around the corner, freeing up some space for the Chargers to address other needs. So far, they've made a trio of mid-level signings, retaining safety Alohi Gilman and picking up tight end Will Dissly and running back Gus Edwards.

2) How is the Calvin Ridley contract going to age? All week we heard that the Jaguars and Patriots were in a bidding war for Ridley, the top
